6.10 Private Cloud

Oracle TSAM Plus provides support for using private clouds to deploy and run Tuxedo applications. The Enterprise Manager for Oracle Tuxedo component allows the provisioning, administration, and management of private cloud resources to create Tuxedo Platform as a Service. Using the OEM Cloud Management, one can define service templates that control the provisioning of Tuxedo applications. These templates can be selected by users in a self-service portal to create fully provisioned and configured Tuxedo instances. Service quotas allow the cloud provider to limit the resources available to users.

This feature includes the following major functions:

• The cloud administration functions like resource provider management, quota management, and service template definition. These functions allow a self-service application administrator (SSA admin) to manage Tuxedo cloud and Tuxedo cloud services consumed by end users.
• The end user operations like service instance creation, application management, deployment, and automatic scaling based on scheduled plan or metrics. The self-service application users (SSA user) can instantiate a particular Tuxedo service, which could consist of Tuxedo system or a complete application.
